knew there was more than one reason to get a non plexed 206 |
Multiplexed 206's are fine, its people dicking about with the electrical system not knowing what there dealing with that causes all the problems

I've got a pair thank you very much!

why do you think the quick release is on the positive?
|
PSA Peugeot / Citroen put at least one quick release terminal on so if the electrical system decides to BBQ itself ( something the 206 isnt know for but other PSA products where ) you can isolate the battery quickly.
Some other PSA products have a quick release on BOTH battery terminals. |
Most new vehicles are fitted with it not just Pugs, for the reasons I explained.
And yes some have it on both poles, again for the same reasons. |

Yours is non plexed, its unlikely to spit the dummy during a jump start attempt |
With a user-name like that, it's the last thing you should be telling people..
Shame.
I have agreed with alot of your helpfull posts and have even stood corrected, however not everyone knows everything (yes, including me).

If you want to minimise the chances of this type of damage, follow this procedure (at your own risk),

always bearing in-mind that car batteries can cause serious physical injury or damage to you or your vehicle if not treated with utmost respect. |
That is a quick diagnosis there too, why is it I think you are just taking the pi$$?
I doubt you've even read the first post let alone followed the steps in it.

Ive always just jumped mine using leads, never had a problem (2004 GTi). If I did I certainly wouldn't come on here crying about it. People need to use there heads.
V9977 tried to post a bit of advice and got slated for it.
